Cubby Cubbins has joined the Washington delegation. He is connected with quite a hush-hush proposition that teaches aerial gunners how to lead and estimate the range of enemy planes. When severing his former Army connection, being released for this more important job, his associates presented to him a really fine watch. "In fact," he writes, "I'm disappointed now when folks don't ask the time so that I can flash the chronometer."
Jock Brace has taken on added responsibility by accepting a position on the Board of Trustees of the Massachusetts General Hospital. With an active and fearless family such as is Jock's, a good hospital connection is a pretty sound asset.
Ken Simonds has been putting in some rather long hours in the electrical engineering game. The longest stretch was thirty-six hours without stopping. Now they're shipping him out of Boston for a vacation.
Ken Hill has 3,000 square feet of garden under intense cultivation. He gives his evenings and week-ends to it. Claims to be getting good results and that he will eat well come winter.
Lou Kimball is Plant Manager of Sylvania Electric Products at Ipswich, Mass. He was the man behind the gun on the production of seventy miles of fluorescent lighting at the Ford Willow Run plant. There have also been 40,000 and 25,000 unit orders for other aircraft plants. Lou is much intrigued with the job and says that the possibilities of post-war development and application are infinite.
Brad Kingman is leaving Bancroft School in Worcester where he was head- master and has accepted a like position at the Pembroke Country Day School, Kansas City, Missouri. The Worcester dele- gation are sorry to lose him and say that he has done a swell job down there.
Bob Borwell has consented to head the Twenty-fifth Reunion Class Gift organization. Bob has many times proved his ability to handle such matters and will do well.
They aint much happened here sence the last riting. Undertaker from a naboring town see me and ast "You go to school with a feller named Eaton?" I admitted as much "He was up here the other day to get him a body. Very nice man and a true ornament to his profession." Coming from another undertaker, that's real praise.
The 4th was awful quiet in these parts. No one shot, not a house burned down, nobuddy runned over. Most uv the saw mill crews got drunkern three cords uv wood and awl we done was make excuses on the long distance for the next week as to why no ship oak want rolling. But now they is sobered up and we is loading again. Loading last night after dark with a July moon coming down through the wine glass elms, scent uv new mown hay and awl that sort uv thing—most uv you fellers would of liked it.
Secretary, Center Ossipee, N. H.
